Ugh it sucks when you’re ugly and don’t even have a good personality to fall back on.

Just get out there already

In American Horror Story, the house has a kind of negative energy that slowly takes over anyone who lives there. I’m starting to believe NJ has the same kind of negative energy, except it affects only me. It’s the same every year during break. I go home and I’m really happy, calm, and optimistic about life. Then, I slowly become more frustrated and angry with everything and everyone around me. Every trip home is a reminder that this town never ages. Never progresses. I feel like everyone here is doing the same thing they were doing 4 years ago. And they’ll keep doing the same thing until they’re old with kids of their own, who will then grow up doing the same things their parents did. Wake up. Break out of this stupid bubble. There are cities, countries, and landscapes all over the world for you to explore. There are countless jobs and careers for you to try. Hobbies and interests for you to discover. New people to meet. I often think about my cats, and how it’s a shame they’ll never know and appreciate just how vast the world is outside of this house. The difference between you and my cats is that no one’s stopping you from getting up and leaving. So why would you want to spend the rest of your life in the same place?

I’ve honestly only had any sort of personal growth when I got to college, even if my school isn’t so far from home. I would’ve had a harder time breaking out of my shell if I stayed in this town, seriously.
